Black Friday 2020: Quotes To Get You Charged For The Shopping Season

Black Friday typically marks the beginning of the hectic holiday shopping season, with retailers offering major discounts and offers. However, this year's Black Friday won't quite look like the one that most people know. Because of the pandemic, there won't be shoppers crowding stores to get the best deals.

Instead, many stores have moved online and even lengthened their sale period so people can have more time to shop from the comfort of their own homes and avoid crowds, as per the guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

But despite the changes, Black Friday remains to be the unofficial start of the season when shoppers begin buying presents for the people they care about.

Now here are some quotes about shopping to get you ready for the season, courtesy of Goodreads, Brainy Quote and Eco Warrior Princess:
